TUESDAY 25 MARCH Annunciation B.V. Mary 1969 84th day - 281 days to come

Barbara Francis called. Wanted me to get a legal form from Esquire and all my correspondants. Said I already had letters from all of them. She checked with the legal department and it is O.K. to get repros of the letters. The salesmen liked the name A GAMUT OF GAMES and want to really promote the book as a family collection of games. She didn't leave me much opportunity to fight against the name.

Called Barnard Collier, not in but he called back. The photographer will come tonight, but not Barnard. He'll call me tomorrow after he sees the pictures. The photographer, Mike, came and took quite a few pictures of me and the 4 3M games and FOCUS. Some triple montages which should be interesting if they come out. (A very pleasant fellow.) When I spoke to Barnard I asked him to please not mention my doing research at Parker's and why. He said "No problem."

Though of an idea for a puzzle. There are a series of cards (say from 1 to 10) which are shuffled and placed in a row. Object is to get all the cards in order. Two or more cards which are next to each other are removed from the array and moved, without changing their position to either end. Keep count of the number of moves required to complete.

TUMBLE WORDS came from Kohner Bros.

Rcd. a letter from a letter from A.B. Noriega asking when my book would come out. Will have to write to him. His letter placed in "Book" folder.
